Chapter 50: 26.2

Chapter 26: Funeral (2) Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.

The old man couldn’t do anything except help with farming and he had never earned a coin. Her husband was lazy and slippery, a little careful, but could he get money for a little bit of word? Life was already hard, how was she going to pay for a coffin?

Anxiously, she patted her son, who wanted to run out to watch the fun. Zhang-shi’s eyes suddenly lit up. To organize a funeral for Xiao Shouwang, of course, she would use their family’s money! In the past two years, their father and son have often come back from hunting games, either rabbits or pheasants. The two men were usually frugal, so how much money they saved!

Thinking of this, she couldn’t wait to stand up. She carried her son to the heated-brick bed, put it under the care of Lianhua, raised her feet, and walked out. Just as she was about to lift the curtain of the door, she suddenly heard someone say: “Brother Xiao, people can’t come back to life after death. Let’s discuss the funeral of Ah Lang’s father. My son-in-law has a field with his brother. If there’s anything that comes in useful, just speak. It’s hot now. We have to quickly put the dead body in the coffin.”

Qin Ruhai stood beside Shu Maoting, coldly looking at Xiao Yongjiang and his son who was crying fakely. He couldn’t stand it. The wheat harvest was coming, and then he would be busy, let alone expect this ruthless father and son to be attentive. His son-in-law was a gentleman and he couldn’t tell the reason for being unreasonable and shameless. Since he was here, he could just help take care of it.

Zhang-shi’s heart was tight. Everyone knew Qin-shi’s family was rich, and the copper coin was distributed like water just now. If her husband was smart, he might not let them pay. At that time, if he was cutting corners, wouldn’t he be able to make a small profit?

At the same time, she was excited and apprehensive for fear that her husband would be stupid and would not be able to speak.

Xiao Yongjiang married an unruly widow as his successor, and his temperament had long since been cleaned up. After finally waiting for her to die, he married a more powerful daughter-in-law, trying to find a way to rob him of his poor private money, and then refused to share half of the copper coin except for saving him some food for three meals. However, he was not allowed to ask about money and goods. Now, hearing Qin Ruhai asking about the funeral expenses, he instinctively shrunk his head and peeked at Xiao Shouyun.

“Thank you, Uncle Qin, my father is so sad that he can’t speak, please don’t mind.” Using the cover of the night, Xiao Shouyun hurriedly said without face, and then sighed deeply: “Uncle Qin, I’m not afraid of your jokes, right now the wheat has not been seized back, the family has no spare money for a long time, and the foods are all sold from the warehouse, although I want to do the scenery for the second brother, I really can’t do it!”

Zhang-shi, who was hiding inside, grinned suddenly. At the critical moment, her husband was still somewhat useful.

Qin Ruhai knew he would say this.

“If that’s the case, you should be responsible for reporting the funeral and arranging the mourning hall, and the coffin and ritual will be handed over to my son-in-law...”

When Xiao Shouyun heard this, he couldn’t help but be disappointed. For funerals, coffins and rituals were the most profitable ones, but they fell into the Shu family!

Qin Ruhai ignored his careful thoughts. After he explained it clearly, Qin Ruhai sent someone to buy a good coffin overnight, put the body in the coffin, and invited the monks from the temple to do the ceremony because Xiao Shouwang didn’t die of old age, and the ceremony was only done for one night.

When the first light of dawn illuminated the sky, and when the last humming sound of chanting chanted in the fresh morning breeze, Xiao Lang opened his eyes suddenly. As far as his eyes could see, there were two neatly laid quilts. It didn’t look like someone had slept.

With just one glance, he recognized this was the Shu family.

The familiar sound of suona could be heard in the distance, which was the sound of a funeral.

The events of yesterday were turbulent like waves and suddenly rushed into his head. Xiao Lang suddenly tore off the quilt on his body, put on his shoes, and ran out.

“Ah Lang!”

Shu Wan, who rushed over and heard the movement, was bumped and hurriedly grabbed his arm. Just as she was about to speak, Xiao Lang suddenly turned his head and stared at her with red eyes: “Have they found my father?”

Shu Wan’s hand that took his arm lost her strength all of a sudden. She turned her head and tears fell uncontrollably.

“Are they holding a funeral for my father?” Xiao Lang lowered his head and asked word by word. His hoarse voice could not hear the slightest emotion, but before Shu Wan could answer, he went back to the room.

Shu Wan was stunned for a moment. At this time, in terms of love and reason, he should immediately go to the mourning hall to cry, right?

Just as she was about to follow up to take a look, Xiao Lang had already rushed out and disappeared from the gate in the blink of an eye.

Shu Wan felt inexplicably uneasy, but when she chased out, Xiao Lang was no longer on the long road.

Did he go to the mourning hall?

Looking at the empty road, Shu Wan didn’t know why she had this question. That was his biological father, where else could he go if Ah Lang didn’t go to the mourning hall?

But why did he just run back to the house?

That move was really unbelievable. Shu Wan had to think about it. Suddenly, she remembered what she took off Xiao Lang last night. Her feet were soft, and she almost lost her strength and fell.

Running back to the room with a pale face, Shu Wan looked directly at the top of the red lacquered wooden cabinet. After seeing the furnishings there clearly, she couldn’t help but collapse to the ground.

The dagger Xiao Lang bought with ten taels of silver was gone!
